The #1 Sport in the World

My soccer experience began when I was six years old. When I was younger I wasn’t very good at soccer, and I used to not even touch the ball. I would revovle around the ball because I was too afraid to go near it. Nevertheless, I loved running up and down the field with my friends. Now, that I am older my whole point of view on soccer has changed. I still play soccer to hang out with friends, but I am not afraid to touch the ball anymore. It is very entertaining to go out and play games against other towns. Currently, I play on the Cheshire 14U Comp team and we play teams all across Connecticut. I love the feel of walking out onto the field and breathing in the crisp cool air. To me, that is the best feeling in the world. Soccer is not about winning or losing the best thing is to go out on the field and try your hardest.

I encourage people to come join the Cheshire Soccer club because it is fantasic and a whole lot of fun. I have played for the Cheshire Soccer Club for the past eight years. There are many advantages at joining a soccer team. For example, over the past years of my soccer career I had made friends who are older than me as well as younger than me. The Cheshire Soccer Club is a great oppertunity to make friends and to improve on soccer skills. Also, the game of soccer can teach you life lessons. Such having sportmanship on the field and off the field. An example of sportmanship in soccer is shaking the players hands and saying, “Good Game”after the game is over. That is an example of what my team does no matter if we lose or win. In conclusion, the Cheshire Soccer Team has made my life easier in many different ways. I encourage anyone who has an interest in soccer to come and try it because it will change your life.
